Last updated on January 23rd, 2019 Hazelnut romesco sauce is one of the easiest ways to punch flavor into a dish and it’s as versatile as it is quick. Spread on toast with roasted cauliflower, the mildly sweet creaminess of fresh ricotta balances the smokiness of the romesco sauce for a flavorful easy lunch! This…

Avocado Green Goddess Sandwiches with Havarti
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Avocado green goddess sandwiches layered with creamy dill havarti, cucumber slices, shaved zucchini, and sprouts on a crusty gluten-free loaf slathered with whipped herbed avocado spread.

Chipotle avocado spread

Coca Cola pulled chicken sliders
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 Since we’re back in the US now, I thought I’d share a recipe that screams “America!” And what’s more American than Coca Cola, amiright? Really, I made these sliders the week before we left, but I’ve been saving the recipe. To be honest, besides my fresh fruit breakfasts, I hardly…
Vegan spicy “turkey” and hummus wraps
Last updated on June 23rd, 2014 With Lucas’s birthday, Father’s day, and plenty of other occasions that necessitate dessert, there’s been no shortage of sweets around these parts.

Cheddar cornmeal waffle BLTAs
Last updated on June 29th, 2020 When a birthday rolls around, there’s an occasion to build a culinary creation that you’d never normally eat.

Artichoke, arugula, and pine nut grilled cheese
Last updated on June 23rd, 2014 Back in my college days, I cooked all my meat on a tiny George Foreman. Within seconds of being plugged in, it heats up and is ready to go; WAY easier than preheating the oven and pulling out pots and pans. My expectations for flavor and texture clearly weren’t super…
Salami, eggplant, tomato, and goat cheese sandwich
Last updated on July 2nd, 2012 While a third and final qualifying paper tops my to-do list, I spend my time drooling over pictures of food, whipping up dishes of my own, eating myself out of house and home, and writing about all of it. It’s not that I’m avoiding work, but every time I…
Gourmet BLT: Pancetta, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula, artichoke hearts, and fresh mozzarella
Last updated on June 23rd, 2014 I’m not much of a sandwich person, but when you go skiing, that’s the most portable lunch. At the last minute, we wound up not going skiing this weekend, but I had already bought a loaf of fresh sour batard for our sandwiches. To use up this bread, I…
